Question 1 This question covers Sections 1 and 2 of Block 1. It assesses your understanding of various concepts covered in those sections and your ability to relate those concepts together.

Data quality issues are described in section 2.3 of Block 1. Briefly explain the problems could you face if each of the quality issues are not met in your SIS page.

Briefly describe the term “Geographic Information System (GIS)”. Also provide two uses of GIS. Describe the importance of data warehousing and data mining in business organizations.

Question 2:

AOU is planning to create a conference management system to keepinformation about the conferences such as papers presented in theconference, d ate of conference, location etc. The conferences are cond uctedin any of the seven branches. One branch may conduct severalconferences. Each conference is id entified by a conference ID. Otherd etails to be stored are name, field, year, start date, end d ate and thebranch name cond ucting the conference. The branch d etails to be storedare the organizing d epartment, contact person, conference location, emailadd ress, and telephone number. The contact person could be the branchdirector or the programme coord inatorA conference would receive lots of paper to be submitted to theconference, but only selected number of these papers will be accepted.Paper d etails are paper ID, title, author name, and number of pages. Thepaper may have secondary authors. In ad d ition, each paper is given a type(for example S: Survey, B: Brief, F: Full). A paper can be submitted in onlyone conference and many papers may be submitted to the sameconference. Once a paper is submitted in a conference, the system send s amessage to the author acknowledging the paper submission.If a paper is accepted , at least one author should attend the conference topresent the paper. The system needs to keep information about the authorwho presented the paper in the conference. Each author is id entified by aunique author ID, Also has a name, ad d ress, email ad dress, affiliation andcontact telephone number of this affiliation. An author can write one ormore research papers and a paper have one main author and one or moresecondary authors.

The system should also store the number of papers submitted andaccepted for each conference along with the paper ID, author ID,conference date, number of attend ees and the conference location forarchiving purpose.Give a conceptual data model (CDM) for this application using the Entity-Relationship model, including the complete E-R diagram, the entity typesand any required constraints and assumptions. Give all degree andparticipation conditions details.

Give all degree and participation conditions details.Question 3Give an E-R diagram and the simplest possible representative occurrence diagram for each of the following situations; State any assumptions you made.

Relationship between AOU-ITC student and their graduation project (T471).

Relationship between assessment (MTA, TMA and Final Exam) and graduation project (T471) in AOU

Question 4

Assume the following relation R is taken from AOU databaseR(StudentID,DepartmentID,TutorID,CourseID,EnrollmentDate,StartDate, FinalExam)with the following FDsStudentID, CourseID EnrollmentDateDepartmentID TutorIDDepartmentID, EnrollmentDate StartDateStudentID, StartDate FinalExam1. What are the candidate keys of R?2. Provide a BCNF lossless-join decomposition for R(StudentID,DepartmentID,TutorID,CourseID,EnrollmentDate,StartDate,FinalExam). Show your steps.

Question 5

Given the following relational schema for part of a University databaseTutor(TutorID, TutorName, Position, Salary)Course(CourseCode, CourseDescription, Credit)CourseOffered(CourseCode, Semester, TutorID)Assumption:Each course has only one tutor in each semester. All tutors have different salaries, all tutors have different names, all courses have different descriptions, and position can take values FROM “Full”, “Part”, and “LabAssistant”.

Display those tutors’ ID who is a tutor for ‘M359’ but not for ‘M257’.Display those courses whose tutors are only Part Time tutors.List all the course names for Prof.Mark in Spring 2012.Display those courses that have been offered in all semesters.Display the names of full time tutors of ‘M105’ course.

Question 6Write SQL queries, and run them using iSQL against the University database. Include in your answer BOTH the SQL query you wrote and the output table that results. You MUST use meaningful column names, which may require using column aliases in the SQL query.

Write a SQL query to find the ids for all students who achieved the lowest mark on the assignment among all students in the course ‘C2’, along with the course code and the assignment mark.

Write a SQL query to find the number of students attended the exam for the courses c2 and c4, your result should include the course codes also.

List the course code, number of students registered in each course along with their tutor.

Write a SQL query to list the student ID, student name, email address whose email address is in ‘.com’ domain and registered for course with course code C4. Output should show the course code and the enrollment date.
